[78-L] Did "the modernaires" record "Daddy"?

[David Weiner]

They did it with Glenn Miller, on a live recording issued on an RCA LP, but
not on 78 with Glenn.

Friends,
this is not off topic since it is about a 78rpm recording (real or
fictitious) and
I hope this new "dumb" question may generate a long thread as some of my
early ones.

 
My father
and is older brother (both past some years ago) claimed they had a 78rpm
record with "the
modernaires" singing "Daddy" (maybe from mid 40s), it was their favorite.
My
mother (still with us), remembers she accidentally broke the record in the
early 50s.
Since then,
they (we) looked for the recording everywhere, in the 60s, 70s and 80s I
found some vinyl
recordings of the piece, but not with these singers, in the 90s I got some
CD
compilations of the vocal group but not "Daddy" there. I got then the Sammy
Kaye 1941
version, another one (same band, newer?) and one from Ambrose AHO (all on
CD).
The questions
are:
Did "the
modernaires" record "Daddy"?
Was it under
they own name, a pseudonym or as vocalists of a Big Band?
Thanks in
advance.
